Klitschko and George Foreman are the only heavyweight boxers in history to defend a world title after turning His younger brother, Wladimir , is a former unified world heavyweight champion.

From until , Vitali and Wladimir dominated heavyweight boxing, a period typically known as the " Klitschko Era " of the division. Klitschko formally began his political career in when he placed second in the Kiev mayoral race.

He was a leading figure in the — Euromaidan protests, and he announced his possible candidacy for the Ukrainian presidency but later withdrew and endorsed Petro Poroshenko.

Originally, Klitschko was an amateur kickboxer with a record of 34—2 with 22 knockouts. He was a kickboxing world champion six times four in professionals and two in amateurs.

As an amateur , Klitschko won the super-heavyweight championship at the first World Military Games in Italy in In the same year he won a silver medal at the World Championships in Berlin, Germany, where he was defeated by Russia's Alexei Lezin in the final.

In his autobiography, published in Germany in , the boxer revealed that he tested positive for a banned steroid in He attributed the presence of the drug to treatment of a leg injury, but was dismissed from the Ukrainian boxing team and missed the Atlanta Olympics.

His amateur record was —15 with 80 knockouts. Klitschko began his professional boxing career in , winning his first twenty-four fights by either early knockout or technical knockout.

He and Wladimir signed with the German athlete-promotion company Universum. With both brothers holding PhDs and being multilingual, their refined and articulate personalities made for mainstream marketability when they moved to Germany and Universum.

In time, they became national celebrities in their adopted home country. He successfully defended the title twice. He defeated Ed Mahone by knockout in the third round and beat Obed Sullivan , who retired after the ninth round.

By April Vitali Klitschko was unbeaten and a rising star in the heavyweight division, having won all 27 of his contests by knockout.

On 1 April, Klitschko had a third title defense against the American Chris Byrd , who was a late replacement. Klitschko won most of the rounds and was heading towards a comprehensive points victory when he suffered a serious shoulder injury.

After the ninth round, Klitschko notified his corner that he had a shoulder pain and threw in the towel , thus handing Klitschko his first defeat and awarding Byrd the win by RTD.

At the time of the stoppage, Klitschko had won 8 of 9 rounds on one judge's scorecard, and 7 of 9 on the two others.

Klitschko, who was later diagnosed with a torn rotator cuff , received much criticism for quitting the fight. The fight between Lewis and Klitschko was to take place in December , and Klitschko signed for a tune-up fight on 21 June as part of the undercard of Lewis' fight with Kirk Johnson for the IBO title, as the WBC would not sanction the fight for their title.

Johnson, however, pulled out of the fight due to injury and Klitschko, due to his being in training for a fight on the same day as Lewis, took the fight on short notice.

Immediately after he accepted, the WBC elected to sanction the fight as a title match and Lewis' The Ring title was also up for grabs in addition to his lineal title.

Klitschko, a 4—1 underdog, dominated the early going with many harder punches. He stunned Lewis in the second round with two hard rights, leaving a cut under on Lennox's left eye.

Klitschko was ahead on all three judges' scorecards 58—56 4 rounds to 2 at the time of the stoppage, but because the wound was a result of punches from Lewis, Lewis won by technical knockout.

Negotiations for a 6 December rematch began. In January , the WBC announced that it would strip Lewis of the belt if he let pass a 15 March deadline to sign for a rematch with Vitali.

For years after this fight, Klitschko would still occasionally call out Lewis, despite the fact that Lewis has been retired since early , for a rematch.

In January they notified Universum that they would not re-sign when their contracts expired in April. Universum sued the brothers, arguing that their recent injuries had triggered a clause binding them beyond April.

The suit was ultimately resolved in favor of the Klitschkos in November Klitschko was knocked down in round one by Sanders, but by using upper-body movement and accurate punching he broke down Sanders, forcing referee Jon Schorle to stop the bout.

Williams had become suddenly marketable from a KO over Mike Tyson in round 4. Klitschko scored a technical knockout against Williams in 8 rounds on 11 December , while wearing an orange cloth to show support for the Ukrainian presidential opposition movement.

Klitschko knocked Williams down in the 1st, 3rd, 7th, and 8th rounds before the fight was stopped. Immediately afterward, Klitschko dedicated his victory to democracy in his native Ukraine and also to the Ukrainian presidential candidate Viktor Yushchenko , whom he supported in 26 December , election revote.

On 9 November , Klitschko announced his retirement from professional boxing and vacated his title. He had been training to fight Hasim Rahman , however, nine days before the fight, he injured his leg while sparring.

He snapped his anterior cruciate ligament , which with surgery would take up to a year to heal and possibly prove career ending.

To avoid keeping the title out of use he retired. The WBC was grateful for his consideration. On other occasions he cited regrets about his suddenly mounting injuries, a desire to leave the sport while still on top and political aspirations in his home country of Ukraine.

After Vitali's retirement, his younger brother had established dominance in the division, winning two of the four world titles available.

At the time, there was interest in a potential Peter vs. Instead, Vitali took advantage of his champion emeritus status and secured a title challenge against Peter.

The fight was arranged on 11 October at O2 World, Berlin. It would be one of the most anticipated heavyweight fights in the past few years.

Both men had a rightful claim to being the champion and the stakes for the future of the heavyweight division were high.

Despite some questioning Vitali's decision to return after four years, he managed to regain his title in dominating fashion.

Klitschko had Peter intimidated from the first round and stunned him with accurate hard punches. Klitschko kept the hard-punching Nigerian off with an effective left jab and took control in the center of the ring.

Over eight rounds, Klitschko completely dismantled and outfought the younger champion. After the eighth round, Peter slumped on his stool, shook his head and asked that the bout be stopped.

By the sixth round, Vitali was in total control. Arreola had been influenced by Samuel Peter's defeat to Klitschko in , in which Peter had tried to box from the outside.

He therefore employed a game-plan which involved applying constant pressure to Vitali in order to force him into a high tempo fight.

Despite his best efforts, the bout became one sided very quickly. Klitschko consistently proved himself faster, sharper and much fitter than Arreola.

On 12 December, Vitali defeated Kevin Johnson by unanimous decision, winning almost every round. Johnson, a skillful fighter, tried to negate Klitschko's strength with angles and head movement.

Though he proved hard to hit, he failed to launch any sustained attack of his own. After the Johnson bout, Klitschko's camp began negotiations for a potential fight with former WBA Champion Nikolai Valuev , but the match failed to materialize due to economic disagreements.

Sosnowski was knocked down by a right hand in the 10th round, prompting referee Jay Nady to immediately wave off the fight. Sosnowski was the No.

Klitschko completely dismantled his challenger with superior hand speed. Briggs struggled to land any meaningful punches, as Klitschko won every round decisively.

After a few rounds, Briggs was receiving a vicious and sustained beating which caused him serious facial injuries. Considering the beating he was receiving, there was some suggestion that the referee should have stopped the bout during the last few rounds.

Klitschko had retained his belt with official scores of —, —, and — During the post-fight interview, the American boxer Briggs said: Klitschko's next fight was against mandatory challenger Odlanier Solis.

The bout was tentatively scheduled for March The fight lasted less than one whole round, as a right hand to Solis's temple wobbled Solis, who then twisted his knee.

Klitschko won by KO. The referee stopped the bout after Adamek received punishing blows and was ruled out, as he was no longer able to defend himself.

After turning 41 on 19 July , Vitali became one of the oldest Heavyweight Champions in history. Despite having a four-year hiatus from the sport, Vitali has proven to be a remarkably effective and dominant Heavyweight Champion once again.

Alongside his brother Wladimir, he also fights on for their shared ambition of holding all four Heavyweight Championship belts together, an ambition that was realised on 2 July when brother Wladimir defeated David Haye to win the WBA Heavyweight Championship.

After Wladimir Klitschko had to cancel his fight with Jean-Marc Mormeck , it was thought that Vitali was likely to fight on 25 February The fight was fought against a backdrop of antagonism displayed by the contender Dereck Chisora at the weigh in.

Chisora slapped Klitschko across the face causing a red mark to be left. Vitali won the majority of the rounds boxing a disciplined fight with changing angles and superior footwork.

Chisora, constantly coming forward delivering punishing body shots, failed to wear down the older man. A doctor confirmed a ligament tear was suffered in his left shoulder.

Klitschko said he "suddenly lost strength in the left hand" and was forced to only use his right. The injury was believed to have happened in the second or third round.

Klitschko's trainer, Fritz Zdunek, believes this is the same kind of injury Vitali suffered in his fight with Byrd.

At the post-fight press conference, a brawl ensued between Haye and Chisora. After the altercation, Chisora challenged Haye to a fight in the ring and said, "I am going to shoot David Haye.

His comments and actions were later condemned by Frank Warren, his promoter, and Wladimir Klitschko. Klitschko was expected to face Bermane Stiverne in a mandatory title defense, but was forced to pull out due to injury.

On 15 December , Vitali Klitschko stepped back from boxing. He was announced champion emeritus, which means that if he wants to return to boxing, he can fight the WBC Heavyweight Champion without having any fights beforehand.

Since his retirement, he has maintained a low key level of training and has been in his brother's corner for most fights, most famously when he had an altercation with Anthony Joshua after Anthony Joshua vs.

Vitali is a friend of former world chess champion Vladimir Kramnik and the two have played, with Kramnik always winning. Vitali has commented that "chess is similar to boxing.

You need to develop a strategy, and you need to think two or three steps ahead about what your opponent is doing.

You have to be smart. But what's the difference between chess and boxing? In chess, nobody is an expert, but everybody plays.

In boxing everybody is an expert, but nobody fights. Chisora failed to land any telling punches, and due to Fury's awkward fighting style, end up hitting him below the belt.

Chisora was warned by referee Marcus McDonnell in the first round.
